RE: another surgery SHANNON

[Guest guest]

,

I hope all goes well with , and that this will be the turning

point with his sinuses.

(Australia)

another surgery

Well here we go AGAIN!!!!!!! gets to go to the hospital on

Thursday

for another sinus surgery. His fifth in his short three years of life.

For

those of you that are new and not familiar with his history here

goes..................

At six months of age got what we thought was pink eye. He had

been

acting pretty normal all day and night. My husband got up with him at

four

in the morning and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. At six he woke up

crying and his left eye was swollen shut. We went to th dr and they gave

him

antibiotics. We went through the night with a fever of over 104. The

next

day they gave him a shot of antibiotics and we did a ct scan. He was

diagnosed as having periorbital cellulitus. This is whre the infection

from

his sinuses had eaten through the bone into the eye socket and caused a

cyst. They decided to transfer us to Denver Childrens to the cf team and

a

team of other drs. Before we left he got another shot to get us down

there

which is a two hour drive. At ten o'clock that night three teams of drs

took

him into the operating room. When he went into surgery his fever was

104.5.

A year later he was developing the same condition and we rushed down to

Denver again. this time we averted disaster.

Then last year starting in January we began the process of cleaning his

sinuses. On February 14 he had his third surgery in that series. So then

at

that time we were up to four. His sinuses just keep filling up as fast

as

they get cleaned out. We have prolonged this last one until the CF drs

finally said they would reccomend it. So here we go.

mom to 3wcf and allergies, and Brenna 7wocf and getting

tested for allergies
